The document describes the process taken to create a magazine cover and double page spread. Key steps include separating character images from their backgrounds, positioning the characters for an action-oriented composition, adding the game logo and magazine title, and filling space with additional advertising text styled with white and green colors. For the double page spread, stock images were imported and backgrounds removed before repositioning according to a layout plan. An article was drafted in Word and pasted into a text box on the spread, using a shaped path to avoid overlapping images and titles. Quotes in the article were made bold for emphasis.

1. Production Reflection
Your Name

2. Process
• First I found images of the characters
separately and separated them from their
backgrounds using the polygonal lasso tool.
• I then found a good background and
positioned the characters so that you can
see all three of them. I also wanted them to
be in a position that made it look like they
were all ready to fight people so that it
seems more exciting and action based.
• I then added the game logo so that people
could clearly see what game was being
advertised. It originally had a black
background but I removed it using the magic
wand tool.

3. Process
• I then went on to add text to the cover
starting with the magazine title once I had I
title I like and I thought stood out enough I
moved the layer of the main character in
front of the title to make him stand out
much more.
• I then added more text to fill space and
advertise more games and more of what is
in the magazine.
• I kept the theme of using white and green in
the writing.
• I then added an issue number and a
barcode.

4. Process
• To start my double page spread I set up an
A3 document and rotated it to be landscape.
• I then imported picture I had saved from
online and used the polygonal lasso tool to
remove the backgrounds.
• I then repositioned them to match my
layout plans.

5. Process
• I first drafted my article on word and then
copied and pasted it into a text box.
• I used the shape tool and changed it to mark
a path to add text and avoid the images and
title.
• I then made some of the quotes bold so that
they stood out more.
• I then added a page number.
